Jefferson County, Alabama

Hey, y'all... this is Bryant again, with another blog post.

The video in this blog is of I-20/59 through Jefferson County, Alabama. The county seat of Jefferson County is Birmingham, which is the largest city in the State of Alabama, in terms of population, with a population of 229,800. Jefferson County is the most densely populated county in the state, boasting a population of 662,047.

Interstate 20 and 59 come together in eastern Birmingham, just west of Irondale. This interchange and the interchange of I-20/59 with I-65 are some of the most dangerous that I've driven through. It's good that I-459 was built, to cut down through traffic from having to utilize I-20/59 through Downtown Birmingham.

Interstate 520

Hey y'all,

This is Bryant again, with another post and road video.

Interstate 520, known as the "Bobby Jones Expressway" in Augusta and the "Palmetto Parkway" in North Augusta, has been completed from exit 17 (U.S. 1/78/278) in North Augusta to its "parent" (I-20), just east of the Aiken-Richmond county line. With I-520 being completed, this gives thru traffic an alternative to I-20 through Augusta.

Additionally, I-520's America's only odd-numbered Interstate to end and begin at its "parent" route. Odd Interstate spur routes usually go off and don't come back into contact with their "parents." Example: I-85 and I-985 north of Atlanta. Even Interstates are usually loops/bypasses. Example: I-75 and I-475 near Macon, Georgia.
